Frequently Asked Questions

Zambrero is Feel Good Mex! A fresh, healthy quick-service Mexican restaurant franchise and a humanitarian enterprise committed to helping stop world hunger by donating a Plate 4 Plate with every burrito, bowl or grab & go retail item purchased.

We are about more than just delicious, Mexican inspired food made with healthy ingredients. We are a way to feel good inside, by helping in our mission to stop world hunger, one meal at a time. With our Plate 4 Plate initiative you can fill your karma and your belly in one stop. Every burrito or bowl you buy, means one meal donated to someone in need across the globe with our partner Rise Against Hunger.

The initiative is simple and one that makes a big impact. Every time a customer purchases a burrito or bowl at Zambrero, a meal is donated to someone in need in the developing world through our key distribution partner, Rise Against Hunger.

Locally, Zambrero donates a meal to someone in an underprivileged Australian community every time a customer purchases a product from our Grab & Go range. To ensure the meals are donated to those in need, Zambrero partners with Foodbank Australia.

For more information, visit our Plate 4 Plate page.

Rise Against Hunger meal packs are a highly nutritious combination of dehydrated rice, soy and vegetables fortified with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, specifically designed to combat malnutrition.

The meals have been made to store easily and transport quickly, as well as being designed to easily adapt to the local culture that the meals are delivered to, allowing communities to add their own spices and additions that suit local culture and tastes.

Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief agency and Zambrero’s international distribution partner that directs Plate 4 Plate meals to where they are needed most. Rise Against Hunger packs and distributes food to countries where many do not have access to adequate nutrition, primarily through school feeding programs.

Zambrero has donated over 60 million meals for those in need worldwide since it was established in 2005.

Our goal is to donate a billion meals by 2025.

Our friends at Foodbank report 2.2 million Australians are living in poverty and 10.9% of those are children. One in 4 pensioners live in or close to poverty and 105,000 Australians are homeless.

That’s why in 2015, Zambrero extended our humanitarian efforts to address the growing problem of hunger here at home through sales of our Grab & Go range.

Every time a product from our Grab & Go range is sold, we fund a Foodbank meal for an Australian in need.

To find out more, visit our Plate 4 Plate page.

The Zambrero POS system is linked to every Zambrero restaurant in Australia and abroad, allowing us to accurately track the sales of all burritos, bowls, and Grab & Go items. A real-time counter is made publicly available in all Zambrero restaurants as well as on our websites.

Providing a meal during school gives parents, particularly in developing nations and poorer communities, an incentive to send their children to school. This helps ensure a child receives their primary school education, the first step in breaking the poverty cycle. Education is a major way to improve the quality of life in disadvantaged communities, whether it be in maternal health, childhood mortality, gender equality or combating HIV/AIDS.

Rise Against Hunger works with in-country partners who submit food requests for assessment based on the following criteria: need, type of distribution program, size of program, sustainability of program, accountability, resources to pay for shipping and manage customs process, capacity to securely store donated meals, and ability to maintain control of the donated food from receipt to distribution. Partner organisations agree not to barter or sell the donated meals, which keeps the Rise Against Hunger food out of the general market.
